Topic: CBS golf coverage (Read 3269 times)

Do they go out of their way to show some golfers (and not show others)? I may have missed them showing Tommy 2 Gloves Gainey and only heard them mention him once late ,but they show Jim Furyk (who had the same score as 2gloves) missing putts left & right . The same with this Huh guy ....missing putts everywhere. I guess they (CBS) were hoping one of them would overtake Gainey for sole 3rd place money. I wish Jim Nance and Brandel Chamblis'(golf channel) would both just go away...freekin golf snobs.

The Colonial was truly a sleeper this year with it being a two man race. They showed very little golf other than the final group, which is somewhat understandable, but not if you are wanting to see other players. Golf, as a spectator sport is not very good. Zach Johnson, being from my hometown of Cedar Rapids, did give me a reason to watch though.

I do think, CBS with McCord, Feherety and company does a better job than NBC with Johnny Miller.

For me, it's not so much Johnny Miller but all of the other douches slobbing his nob the whole time. Fucking Dottie Pepper.

If they don't tell Johnny how good he was, he will tell it and repeat it. And how he was the first one to do this or that.

I do think one of his most remarkable feats was when he won at Pebble Beach late in his career and had the yips. He stabbed and jabbed putts for the entire tournament and managed to quiver enough putts in the hole to win. As someone that has also battled the yips (still do), I really was impressed with that. This probably kept him from playing the Senior tour, but I think he said that it was so he could spend more time with his family.

I never in a million years thought I would say this, but I tend to agree. It's like a lot of sports, now extremely over-saturated on TV. The Masters used to get it about right by limiting what they allowed to be showed. It created tons of interest, people saying "I wonder what the front nine looks like." Now, we get to see every pimple on the whore's uterus.

What do you think you got the yips from?

Age. It happens to most at some point. You can still be a great ball striker well into your 40s and 50s but it's much harder to maintain that high level short game.

There are many degrees of the yips. I had or have them so bad that with a standard length putter, I have no chance to make a putt. When I could still play pretty good up into my mid forties, I used a longer putter that I held against my left arm and putted with a normal stroke. Now I use a real long putter and anchor against my chest. Even with this, I still don't putt very well, but at least is normally doesn't quiver. Now that I am approaching 70, I am starting to have some problems even with the chipping. Of course, playing in Florida with the very tight lies, compounds this problem.

She doesn't have flat funbags. Glad to know you haven't lost all sanity.

But back to the yips. I don't play enough any more to have them. I used to be a good putter but so rarely play now that I don't fear missing. I embrace it.

I think Dottie would tell you how to do it and when, not that I would mind. She also might cuss the shit out of you if you didn't do a satisfactory job. I would rather discuss this, than talk about the yips.

I dunno. I figure Dottie could probably get a little nasty, but I've always thought she probably bats for the other team.
